ZAGREB, July 27 (Hina) - Croatian Tourism Minister Ivan Herak said
in an interview for Monday night prime time news on Croatian
Television, that the Croatian Maritime, Transport and
Communications Ministry was responsible for the traffic chaos on
the ferry terminal, when passengers were waiting for up to 15 hours
for the ferry ride to the central Adriatic island of Pag last
weekend.
Herak reminded that the Croatian Tourism Ministry had pointed to
the problem on several occasions.
After an exceptionally good advertisement and all efforts invested
in the preparation for the tourists season, and extremely
favourable results in relation to expectations after NATO strikes
on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, this is a big splash in the
face for the Croatian Tourism, Herak said.
The traffic chaos happened on July 24 when a ferry transportation
via Prizna-Zigljen was disconnected due to bad weather. Given that
this is the only connection between the island of Pag and the
mainland, tourist vehicles were waiting for hours in several-
kilometres-long lines.
